The Official #21 Tennessee vs. #17 Iowa Citrus Bowl Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ABC

[teeball]

Play calling is abysmal.

Nico is playing like a 2nd or 3rd year QB .... unfortunately Coach Halzle is play calling like a true freshman. I thought the biggest problem this year in our pedestrian play calling was because of Joe Milton's inadequacies ... now I'm not so sure. Halzle is going to have to get better to exploit Nico's exceptional talent.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

I don’t get the playcalling. Two years Heup didn’t call this nonsense conservative “preserve the lead” kind of game. Year 3 and we’ve seen it all season.

I’m hoping it’s just the lack of pieces on the depth chart, but good grief is it frustrating.

He's got an O Line that can't give the QB time and receivers who can't get separation.

This has been the problem all year. No QB can throw with zero time and no one open.

Why no outside runs

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

ABC cameras not too bright.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Get to second down and it’s run up the middle. Good lord Pruitt ball never dies.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

feels like we should be up more than 14 and why hasn't some producer not told the camera man to freaking open up the camera aperture.

Now it looks brighter...horrible production

I’m starting to think ESPN sent their 3rd string equipment to Orlando and sent the good stuff to the other bowls

 

[Sarms58]

Keep it Nico…

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

This broadcast is dark AF and has no first down yellow line.

They forgot to hire the yellow line crew to paint it

 

[BreatheUT]

I like what Tank, Jeudy-Lally, and Turrentine are doing in the secondary along with Gipson.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Its official. We can worry about the offense and it’s not Nico and it maybe wasn’t even Joe .

 

[Casual Mustard Yeeter]

Why don’t we just watch the game. We are just ahead 14. Geez.

You're not my real dad!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I see they brought a TE in for protection

 

[FlVols]

Got a FD

 

[87&91ALUM]

Let’s get some points boys

Men

 

[Cartervol]

So move the pocket!!!!!

What I was thinking..

 

[ttocswob]

Sampson makes 7 yards outta nothing.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Get to second down and it’s run up the middle. Good lord Pruitt ball never dies.

Surely they are setting something up

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Need to come after their punter. He's their best player.

They should probably put him in at QB.

Probably wouldn't be any worse.

Ooof....I knew their offense wasn't good but ...oof

 

[rocketskates]

Iowa is selling out to stop the run. Let Nico air it out

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Nico stiff arm lmao, yasssss

 

[martyvols]

Man this team would replace Vandy as the worst team in the SEC. The more I watch the more convinced I am that Alabama will throttle Michigan tonight. It’s 2 different conferences.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Just run and run and run till we wear them out

 

[JCHateSteve]

There we go.

 

[BP4Prez]

Nimrod was held like crazy on the Nico first down run

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I’m starting to think ESPN sent their 3rd string equipment to Orlando and sent the good stuff to the other bowls

But they sent their best sideline reporter, so I think they did a great job
